Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated processing technology for doors and windows, specifically to a material support device and working method for processing irregular profiles. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] During door and window processing, the profiles being processed move along guide rails and are carried to various positions by a conveyor belt for processing. Positioning of the profiles is necessary during this process. Traditionally, a material support device is used, with a plane on the profile that contacts the support roller or conveyor belt serving as a reference surface for pressing or positioning. When the profile is of a regular shape, the surface in contact with the conveyor belt is horizontal or vertical. However, when the profile is irregularly shaped, due to its own weight, the surface in contact with the conveyor belt is inclined relative to the profile itself, making it difficult for the material support device to use the inclined profile as a positioning reference for subsequent processing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention provides a material support device and working method for processing profiles. The device uses the cylinder of the material support unit to drive a set of rollers to move up and down, and with the grooved structure in another set of rollers, the profile can determine one of the required reference surfaces when passing through the material support unit, thereby completing the positioning and pressing of the profile.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The first aspect of the present invention provides a material support device for processing profiles, including a support frame, a conveyor belt on the support frame, and multiple sets of first material support units and second material support units arranged along the running direction of the conveyor belt. Each set of first material support units and second material support units is used to support the profiles. The support frame is provided with multiple sets of side positioning rollers, a vertical pressing device and a horizontal pressing device for positioning and pressing the profiles.

[0007] The first material support unit includes movable rollers and irregular rollers arranged in parallel. The movable rollers are connected to a cylinder, and the irregular rollers have grooves on their surfaces that match the shape of the irregular profile. The cylinder drives the movable rollers to move up and down in the vertical direction and cooperate with the irregular rollers and the horizontal pressing device to make the surface of the irregular profile in contact with the conveyor belt horizontal to achieve positioning.

[0008] Furthermore, the movable roller is movably connected to the top of the connecting plate via the roller shaft. The connecting plate is connected to the slide plate, and the bottom end of the slide plate is connected to the cylinder connecting plate. The cylinder connecting plate is connected to the movable end of the cylinder.

[0009] Further, the special-shaped roller is movably connected to the top end of the connecting plate through a roller shaft, the connecting plate is connected to a fixing plate, and the fixing plate is connected to the support through a mounting plate.

[0010] Further, a guide rail and a limiting plate are connected to the mounting plate, a sliding block is movably connected to the guide rail, the sliding block is connected to a sliding plate, a limiting screw is arranged on the limiting plate, and a protrusion corresponding to the position of the limiting screw is arranged on the sliding plate; the movable roller moves along the vertical direction of the guide rail under the action of the cylinder; the limiting screw abuts against the protrusion on the sliding plate, and the initial position of the sliding plate and the sliding block relative to the guide rail is adjusted by changing the length of the limiting screw on the limiting plate.

[0011] Further, a cylinder seat plate is connected to the mounting plate, and the cylinder seat plate is connected to the fixed end of the cylinder.

[0012] Further, the second material supporting unit comprises horizontally arranged special-shaped rollers.

[0013] Further, the side positioning roller is arranged in the vertical direction and movably connected to the support at the position corresponding to each group of the first material supporting unit and the second material supporting unit.

[0014] Further, the vertical pressing device comprises a vertical pressing cylinder arranged in the vertical direction and a pressing roller arranged at the position opposite to the movable end of the vertical pressing cylinder, and the vertical pressing cylinder is used to push the special-shaped material carried on the two material supporting units to move towards the pressing roller to realize pressing.

[0015] Further, the horizontal pressing device comprises a horizontal pressing assembly arranged in the horizontal direction and a horizontal reset cylinder, the horizontal pressing assembly comprises a guide rail assembly connected to the support, a sliding block movably connected to the guide rail assembly, a base connected to the sliding block, and a horizontal pressing roller connected to the base, the base and the sliding block move along the guide rail assembly, and the horizontal pressing roller connected to the base is used to push the special-shaped material to the side positioning roller.

[0016] The second aspect of the present application provides a working method of the material supporting device, and the working method comprises the following steps.

[0017] The special-shaped material reaches the specified position under the driving of the conveying belt, the special-shaped material is in contact with the upper plane of the conveying belt, and at this time, the special-shaped material is in an inclined state;

[0018] The cylinder is actuated, so that the movable roller is in the same plane as the upper surface of the special-shaped roller;

[0019] The horizontal pressing device is actuated, and the special-shaped material is pushed to the side positioning roller in the horizontal direction;

[0020] After reaching the side positioning roller, the horizontal pressing device is loosened, the cylinder is actuated to lower the movable roller to the set position, and the special-shaped material falls into the groove of the special-shaped roller, and at this time, the lower bottom surface of the special-shaped material in contact with the movable roller is horizontal under the action of the weight.

[0021] The horizontal pressing device acts again to press the profile in the horizontal direction, and the side positioning of the profile is completed;

[0022] The vertical pressing device acts to press the profile in the vertical direction, and the positioning and pressing of the profile are completed.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the above one or more technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. Before the positioning of the profile, the profile in the inclined state is limited by its own shape, and after the inclined profile is pushed to the position of the side positioning roller by the horizontal pressing device, the movable roller is lowered by the cylinder of the first material supporting unit, so that part of the profile falls into the groove of the profile roller, and the profile obtains a horizontal lower bottom surface under the action of its own weight, and the side positioning of the profile is completed by the second action of the horizontal pressing device.

[0025] 2. The specific structure of the horizontal pressing device and the vertical pressing device in the traditional material supporting device is not affected, and only two actions of the horizontal pressing device are needed, and the profile can be in a horizontal state by using the weight of the profile and cooperating the up-down movement of the movable roller with the shape of the profile roller, so that the side positioning is completed, and the profile is pressed by the vertical pressing device after the side positioning and is processed subsequently.

[0026] 3. By changing the length of the limiting screw on the limiting plate, the initial position of the sliding plate and the sliding block relative to the guide rail is adjusted, so that the lifting height of the movable roller in each group of the first material supporting unit is consistent.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0038] As described in the background section, when the profile is irregularly shaped, it is difficult to determine the reference surface used for clamping or positioning, making the material support device unable to handle the processing of irregular profiles. Taking the processing of aluminum alloy profiles as an example, two mutually perpendicular surfaces in the profile cross-section are usually selected as references for clamping or positioning. However, for irregular profiles (e.g., Figures 8-10 If the cross-sectional structure of the profile is irregular, it is difficult to determine the two surfaces in the cross-section that can be used for positioning, or the self-weight of the profile cannot be used to determine the reference surface due to the structure of the profile.

[0039] Therefore, the following embodiment provides a material support device for processing profiles. The material support unit in the device can use a cylinder to drive a set of rollers to move up and down. In conjunction with the slotted structure in another set of rollers, the profile can determine one of the required reference surfaces when it passes through the material support unit, thereby completing the positioning of the profile.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] like Figures 1-7As shown in the drawings, a material supporting device for processing profiled materials comprises a support 1, a conveying belt arranged on the support 1, a plurality of groups of first material supporting units 2 and second material supporting units 3 arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying belt, a side positioning roller 4, a vertical pressing device 5 and a horizontal pressing device 6 arranged on the support 1. The first material supporting units 2 and the second material supporting units 3 support the profiled materials, and cooperate with the side positioning roller 4, the vertical pressing device 5 and the horizontal pressing device 6 to press the profiled materials on the support so as to move the profiled materials along the support 1.

[0042] The support 1 is not limited to a specific structure type, and in the embodiment, a rectangular tube is used as the support 1.

[0043] The first material supporting unit 2 is a combined material supporting device, and the structure is as shown in the drawings, which comprises a movable roller 211 and a profiled roller 201 arranged side by side, and both the rollers are horizontally arranged. Figures 4-7

[0044] The movable roller 211 is movably connected to the top end of a connecting plate 207 through a roller shaft 208, the connecting plate 207 is connected to a sliding plate 213, the bottom end of the sliding plate 213 is connected to a cylinder connecting plate 214, and the cylinder connecting plate 214 is connected to the movable end of a cylinder 203.

[0045] The profiled roller 201 is movably connected to the top end of a connecting plate 209 through a roller shaft 208, the connecting plate 209 is connected to a fixed plate 210, the fixed plate 210 is connected to the support 1 through a mounting plate 202, a guide rail (in this embodiment, a rectangular guide rail 204) and a limiting plate 206 are screwed on the mounting plate 202, a sliding block (in this embodiment, a rectangular sliding block 205) is movably connected to the guide rail, the sliding block is connected to the sliding plate 213, the limiting plate 206 is provided with a limiting screw 212, and the sliding plate 213 is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the position of the limiting screw 212; a cylinder seat plate 215 is connected to the mounting plate 202, and the cylinder seat plate 215 is connected to the fixed end of the cylinder 203.

[0046] The movable roller 211 moves up and down along the rectangular guide rail 204 under the action of the cylinder 203, the surface of the profiled roller 201 is provided with a groove, and the groove is arranged according to the cross-sectional shape of the profiled material.

[0047] In order to ensure that the lifting heights of all the movable rollers 211 are consistent, the protrusion of the sliding plate 213 is abutted with the limiting screw 212 by adjusting the extension length of the limiting screw 212, so as to change the initial height position of the sliding plate 213 in the vertical direction, thereby limiting the lifting height.

[0048] The second material supporting unit 3 comprises a horizontally arranged profiled roller, and both the first material supporting unit 2 and the second material supporting unit 3 support the profiled material from the lower surface of the profiled material.

[0049] The side positioning roller 4 is arranged in the vertical direction and movably connected to the corresponding position of the support 1 of each group of the first material supporting unit 2 and the second material supporting unit 3.​

[0050] The vertical pressing device 5 presses the profile carried by the two material supporting units by the driving of the air cylinder. The specific structure is not limited. In the embodiment, the structure of the vertical pressing device 5 is shown in Figure 3 The vertical pressing device 5 presses the profile carried by the two material supporting units by the driving of the air cylinder. The specific structure is not limited. In the embodiment, the structure of the vertical pressing device 5 is shown in

[0051] In the embodiment, the pressing roller 52 is arranged in the space above the first material supporting unit 2 and is movably connected with the support 1. The vertical pressing cylinder 51 acts from bottom to top to press the profile together with the pressing roller 52. When the profile does not need to be pressed vertically, the pressing roller 52 leaves the space above the profile.

[0052] The horizontal pressing device 6 presses the profile carried by the two material supporting units from the side or changes the horizontal position of the profile. The specific structure is not limited. In the embodiment, the structure of the horizontal pressing device 6 is shown in Figure 2 The horizontal pressing device 6 presses the profile carried by the two material supporting units from the side or changes the horizontal position of the profile.

[0053] Embodiment two:

[0054] The working method of the above-mentioned material supporting device includes the following steps:

[0055] Taking the profile with the cross-sectional structure shown in Figures 8-10 The lower bottom surface of the profile cannot form a 90° angle with the vertical plane, i.e., it is in an inclined state. When the profile with such a shape is driven by the conveying belt to reach the designated position, the A and B positions of the profile are in contact with the upper plane of the conveying belt. At this time, the profile is in an inclined state.

[0056] The movable end of the air cylinder 203 is lifted to the highest position, and the movable roller 211 is in the same plane as the upper surface of the profile roller 201. At this time, the lower bottom surface of the profile is lifted by the movable roller 211 and the profile roller 201. However, due to the existence of the groove in the profile roller 201, part of the area of the profile is above the groove, and most of the weight of the profile is borne by the movable roller 211.

[0057] The horizontal pressing device 6 acts to push the profile to the side positioning roller 4 in the horizontal direction. After the profile is detected to be in position, the horizontal pressing device 6 is released. The air cylinder 203 acts to lower the movable roller 211 to a set position. The profile is lowered, and part of the profile falls into the groove of the profile roller 201 (for example, the A part in FIG. 6, the B part in FIG. 7, and the A part in FIG. 8). At this time, since the part of the profile protruding from the horizontal plane falls into the groove of the profile roller 201, the profile is in a horizontal state, and the horizontal positioning is completed by using the weight of the profile. The horizontal pressing device 6 again acts to press the profile in the horizontal direction, and the side positioning of the profile is completed. Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10

[0058] The vertical pressing device 5 acts to press the profile in the vertical direction, and the positioning and pressing of the profile are completed. At this time, the next process can be performed. For example, the profile is gripped by a mechanical hand and is sent to a laser saw-milling mechanism to be processed according to the processing process.

[0059] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. The present application can have various modifications and changes for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.​​​
